This was one of the first shots that I took with my new Hasselblad H3DII, with the 24 mm wide angle lens. It may not be readily apparent in the small jpeg uploaded for this blog, but it's quite amazing how three dimensional this image appears. The camera is 31 megapixels, which is not really that high a resolution compared to the higher end H5D for instance, which can go as high as 50 to 120 megapixels. But the detail is quite apparent, which is not always a goal of mine anyway. The H3D has a much wider tonal range than other cameras I have owned, although my Leica still competes very well. The strong element of the Leica is always the lens. They simply cannot be beat. The Hasselblad HCD lenses are very good as well. But the digital back on the H3D has sophisticated software that does a lot of correction for the lenses. I like the Hasselblad for landscapes and my Leica more for people shots. I will be doing more portrait shots in the near future with the Hasselblad.
